A quick spin on the Easton EA70 SL road rear wheel is all it takes to confirm it's one sleek, smooth performer. Easton developed an extra wide (17.5mm internal rim width) welded alloy rim specifically for the EA70 SL with the resulting wider shape changing the tire's profile and greatly enhancing the ride quality. Not to mention, an improved tire profile means a better contact patch for really leaning into corners. The EA70 SL rolls on Easton's V5 aluminum hub and standard, J-bend spokes (24, laced 1x/2x). This wheel is built to withstand years of vigorous riding and if the EA70 SL ever needs service, you can rest easy knowing that every single component is easily replaceable - from the standard sealed cartridge bearings to the standard J-bend spokes and nipples.
